Katy is a freelance writer, traveler, surfer, trail rider, snow slider, adventurer, entrepreneur and Oregon dreamer. She isn’t afraid to say she is a native Californian, but has lived in the quirky, cold, green, epic state of Oregon for the last 20 years. With a B.A. in Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, she writes mostly about travel, outdoors and environmental issues. She is thankful that you actually can find good tacos in Oregon, but don’t tell anyone that. Based in Bend, Oregon. www.katybryce.com.
